[Bug 1899543] [NEW] UPgrading from 18.04 to 20. upgrade fails saying ppa needs purging. Purge completed via command line or gui, but ppa seems to reappear, and the same error occurs with the upgrade. Impossible to upgrade

Public bug reported:


UPgrading from 18.04 to 20.  upgrade fails saying ppa needs purging.
Purge completed via command line or gui, but ppa seems to reappear, and
the same error occurs with the upgrade.  Impossible to upgrade

"This was likely caused by: 
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu 
Please use the tool 'ppa-purge' from the ppa-purge 
package to remove software from a Launchpad PPA and 
try the upgrade again. 

If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the 
command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal. If 
you want to investigate this yourself the log files in 
'/var/log/dist-upgrade' will contain details about the upgrade. 
Specifically, look at 'main.log' and 'apt.log'. 
"

history | grep add-apt-repository

tells me:

  989  sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://realsense-hw-
public.s3.amazonaws.com/Debian/apt-repo bionic main" -u


Have done: 

sudo ppa-purge -s realsense-hw-public.s3.amazonaws.com ppa:Debian/apt-repo 
sudo ppa-purge -s realsense-hw-public.s3.amazonaws.com ppa:Debian/apt-repo xenial
sudo ppa-purge -s realsense-hw-public.s3.amazonaws.com ppa:Debian/apt-repo bionic main

and a variety of others.

repos seem to return.
